Question 93

A company is running a large containerized workload in the AWS Cloud. The workload consists of approximately 100 different services. The company uses Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) to orchestrate the workload.

Recently, the company's development team started using AWS Fargate instead of Amazon EC2 instances in the ECS cluster. In the past, the workload has come close to running the maximum number of EC2 instances that are available in the account.

The company is worried that the workload could reach the maximum number of ECS tasks that are allowed. A solutions architect must implement a solution that will notify the development team when Fargate reaches 80% of the maximum number of tasks.

What should the solutions architect do to meet this requirement?

Options:

Use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor the Sample Count statistic for each service in the ECS cluster. Set an alarm for when the math expression sample count/SERVICE_QUOTA(service)"100 is greater than 80. Notify the development team by using Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).

Use Amazon CloudWatch to monitor service quotas that are published under the AWS/Usage metric namespace. Set an alarm for when the math expression metric/SERVICE_QUOTA(metric)*100 is greater than 80. Notify the development team by using Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS).

Create an AWS Lambda function to poll detailed metrics from the ECS cluster. When the number of running Fargate tasks is greater than 80, invoke Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) to notify the development team.

Create an AWS Config rule to evaluate whether the Fargate SERVICE_OUOTA is greater than 80. Use Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) to notify the development team when the AWS Config rule is not compliant.

Question 94

A company maintains information on premises in approximately 1 million .csv files that are hosted on a VM. The data initially is 10 TB in size and grows at a rate of 1 TB each week. The company needs to automate backups of the data to the AWS Cloud.

Backups of the data must occur daily. The company needs a solution that applies custom filters to back up only a subset of the data that is located in designated source directories. The company has set up an AWS Direct Connect connection.

Which solution will meet the backup requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Options:

Use the Amazon S3 CopyObject API operation with multipart upload to copy the existing data to Amazon S3. Use the CopyObject API operation to replicate new data to Amazon S3 daily.

Create a backup plan in AWS Backup to back up the data to Amazon S3. Schedule the backup plan to run daily.

Install the AWS DataSync agent as a VM that runs on the on-premises hypervisor. Configure a DataSync task to replicate the data to Amazon S3 daily.

Use an AWS Snowball Edge device for the initial backup. Use AWS DataSync for incremental backups to Amazon S3 daily.

Answer:

Explanation:

AWS DataSync is an online data transfer service that is designed to help customers get their data to and from AWS quickly, easily, and securely. Using DataSync, you can copy data from your on-premises NFS or SMB shares directly to Amazon S3, Amazon EFS, or Amazon FSx for Windows File Server. DataSync uses a purpose-built, parallel transfer protocol for speeds up to 10x faster than open source tools. DataSync also has built-in verification of data both in flight and at rest, so you can be confident that your data was transferred successfully. DataSync allows you to apply filters to select which files or folders to transfer, based on file name, size, or modification time. You can also schedule your DataSync tasks to run daily, weekly, or monthly, or on demand. DataSync is integrated with AWS Direct Connect, so you can take advantage of your existing private connection to AWS. DataSync is also a fully managed service, so you do not need to provision, configure, or maintain any infrastructure for data transfer.

Option A is incorrect because the Amazon S3 CopyObject API operation does not support filtering or scheduling, and it would require you to write and maintain custom scripts to automate the backup process.

Option B is incorrect because AWS Backup does not support filtering or transferring data from on-premises sources to Amazon S3. AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service that makes it easy to centralize and automate the backup of data across AWS services.

Option D is incorrect because AWS Snowball Edge is a physical device that is used for offline data transfer when network bandwidth is limited or unavailable. It is not suitable for daily backups or incremental transfers. AWS Snowball Edge also does not support filtering or scheduling.

Question 95

A company recently completed a successful proof of concept of Amazon Workspaces. A solutions architect needs to make the solution highly available across two AWS Regions. Amazon Workspaces is deployed in a failover Region, and a hosted zone is deployed in Amazon Route 53.

What should the solutions architect do to configure high availability for the solution?

Options:

Create a connection alias in the primary Region and in the failover Region. Associate the connection aliases with a directory in each Region. Create a Route 53 failover routing policy. Set Evaluate Target Health to Yes.

Create a connection alias in the primary Region and in the failover Region. Associate the connection aliases with a directory in the primary Region. Create a Route 53 multivalue answer routing policy.

Create a connection alias in the primary Region. Associate the connection alias with a directory in the primary Region. Create a Route 53 weighted routing policy.

Create a connection alias in the primary Region. Associate the connection alias with a directory in the failover Region. Create a Route 53 failover routing policy. Set Evaluate Target Health to Yes.

Question 96

A company is running an application on premises. The application uses a set of web servers that host a static React-based single-page application (SPA), a Node.js API, and a MYSQL database server. The database is read intensive. The company will need to expand the database's storage at an unpredictable rate.

The company must migrate the application to AWS. The company also must modernize the architecture to reduce infrastructure management and increase scalability.

Which solution will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational overhead?

Options:

Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate the database to Amazon RDS for MySQL. Use AWS Application Migration Service to migrate the web application to a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances behind an Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) load balancer. Use a Spot Fleet with a request type of request to host the API.

Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate the database to Amazon Aurora MySQL. Copy the web files to an Amazon S3 bucket and set up web hosting. Copy the API code to AWS Lambda functions. Configure Amazon API Gateway to point to the Lambda functions.

Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) to migrate the database to a MySQL database that runs on Amazon EC2 instances. Use AWS DataSync to migrate the web files and API files to an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system. Set up a fleet of EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group as web servers. Mount the FSx for Windows File Server file system.

Use AWS Application Migration Service to migrate the database to Amazon EC2 instances. Copy the web files to containers that run on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Set up an Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) load balancer for the EC2 instances and EKS containers. Copy the API code to AWS Lambda functions. Configure Amazon API Gateway to point to the Lambda functions.
